Friend,
The debate last night made me angry.
It was that moment between Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden, when he tried to take credit for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) -- the agency that Warren conceived, built, and was the first to run. The CFPB so far has returned over $12 billion to working people. Warren did that.
So it was enraging to see Biden try to take credit. (If you missed it, you can watch it here.)
I keep thinking about it this morning. How every woman can recognize herself in that moment -- watching a man take public credit for her professional accomplishments.
We'd like to hear how you feel about it.
Did that moment remind you of things that happened in your own life?
How did you feel when you heard that Warren was fired from her teaching job for being pregnant -- and then critics said they didn't believe her?
If you are a woman, do these sexist attacks on Warren make you feel more strongly about her?
Click here if you want to share your thoughts -- we will share them with the Warren campaign, and with reporters who may be writing about this.
Thanks for fighting on, and for being a bold progressive.
-- Stephanie Taylor, PCCC co-founder
P.S. You can also donate $12 to Warren's campaign to thank her for the CFPB that's returned $12 billion to families.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told PCCC members, "The majority of Americans are with us on the policies. Americans support Medicare for All, expanding Social Security benefits, gun reform, debt-free college, and a $15 minimum wage. Bold progressive values are popular EVERYWHERE. Together, we have the people. Together, with your help, we’ll have the votes." Chip in $3 here.
